Itosstwr, on the present circumstances, having•discharged his trust, I now proceed to ac quaint kou with the result. " This Gentleman has given me a very minute ac count of the conferences which he had with the said General ; the most, important point of which is, that, supposing uo to mil rupture to have as yet taken place, the same treatment ought to be continued towards persons belonging to the French Nation as they have , hitherto experienced, until NAPOLEON.. shall have giv,en his decision on the Prayer addressed to' him, to restore to us our August Sovereign FEIDI 7 AND VII.

Under these circumstances, my dear country r:s.en, I only charge you to observe stria subordiria ti,:n to the Chief whom you shall ele6t because I shall this instant- resign my.place, if - you do not ju4e me fit 10 command'yoif; but . if you - renew the elei,:tion, and leave use in the post which 1 oc cw•v, I alone have- to command ; no person is to p , -...:cribe 'conditions to Mei and no person shall de mand of me hazardous attil'ons, which would merely tend to the dismemberroent of the nation, and in Spate measure to frustrate' the vast plan which I have already announced to you. But shoUld you still entertain the least apprehensions on - ao r count of the small number of French ships, which so much engage your attention, recolleti, that we have already with one Vaiee proclaimed our firm de termination not to obey any other Sovereign than FERDINANE VII. and that no advantage or opposi 'tion' can ever induce us to violate that obligation. And should, on the other hand, indignation against the crews of the said ships urge you on to vindiClive proceedings, bear in mind that you would thereby unavoidably occasion the loss of 25,000 . of your countrymen, who are in the North, and, above all, expose the life. of our Sovereign FERDINAND VII. who i 5 in a worse situation than the said few ships, and whost.lite is so valuable to us, that We are de termined to fight for him, " Do not, therefore, harbour any mistaken no tion,-and :est satisfied, that if you aa as Spaniards, I shall never separate my de,tiny from that of Spain. —" To die or conquer," is my tuottu ; let np other resound in }our .breast. • Cadiz, May 30, 1208, ‘, Mon Lu." OVIEDO, JUNE 2g.—The contents of various let ters received here on the f2oth; concur in refuting the Madrid Digrio of the 15th, which positively states, that Duroz,;:r had triumphantly entered Cor dova : the tad being, tha. alter his advanced guard, Consisting of a numerous corps of cavalry, had pass ed on as far as Andukar, the main body of his army was cut to pieces between Baylen and that place ;, and, sithst:qu.!ntly,, his advanced guard met the same fate, between Anduxar and Cordova. The general disCoMfiture of the Fiench in Nati gal confirmed flow all quarters. Whilst a more circurristantial account is preparing for the prec-.;, of the dispatches ,received by, the Su preme Junta, from our Envoys in Engiand:, it is, iu the mean time, announced, that they met with the warmest reception, and that ail they asked for was plomised them'; thaideputies bad already arrived hi England trom Andalusia, to whom, b e sid e s o t h er means or it was proposed• to send over to uts a considerable number of troops, consisting both -ot Spaniards and other foreigners, who are prisoners of AX , ,ir in that country ; that all the cities and towns in Pros-ia were 911 the alert ;, and that the Emperors of Austria and Russia had declared war agaim... the Great NAPoLEot , :, the,Emperor of the Great French *Nation, the Queen,if aid Nations, • ' NADRID;JIME 1,5.—1 t IS said, that MURAT is ordered to return to Fiance, in consequence of hay-- tit acted - With too much remissness and too lictle SC% erity, and that in place of him we.are.to receive NIAssENA, who is more active and much more san , guiLiary. • OVIEDO,.

In this - relation, however, the good con- . loci of the Officers, .commissioned and lion-corn misciioned, is - studiously made the subjed- of praise. Let tlii.sce the applicaticu of the story, The whole Spanish mation is.a fac-simile of the condition of this regiment, The rioters, the rebels, the insur gents, are only the lowest rabble ! the mere private suldters ! e land-bolters, the peopl„, of the mid dle •and respo able ranks, are very peaceable! they are the serie. , :nts. The Nobles and chief person ages who are acquainted .with their own interest, and the obedience they owe their lawful Sove reign - BUONAPARTE, have no concern at all in this business:: these are 'the Gentlemen-efficers. And what shall we say to such insolent falsehoods ? The nation, - from the lowest to the highest,, think only of revenging the outrages. sustained from French perfidy. ..-Those Monsieurs know this well enotlgh : but still they persist in telling all the world that there is nothing - in it but the riot of a rabble. The nation, however,' cannot be deceived, because their own eyes convince them of the contrary. But' their intention is to . mislead foreign Powers - through the7ehannel of our own Journals, wretchedly edited by corrupt individuals, deriving ,their authority from. a feeble Government, to say no more of it. VALLADOLID, JUNE 6.—Extrad of a Letter from Bayonne :---`4 The' Prince of NEURCHATEL, - the High Chamberlain DUROC . , with many other Ge-_ nerals and Fundionaries; left Bayonne on, the . 16th ult. to meet FERDINAND the Vlfth, at a leave dis tance from the town. The EMperor soon atier vi sited him with a splendid Suite, and was received by FERDINAND at the porch, when they embraced, NAPOLEON assuring him. f his, friendly intentions.— The interview being terminated, he invited his new guest to 'dinner at five in the evening, leaving be hind him a detachment of the Imperial Guard; and at four the carriage was sent for the 'accommodation of the august traveller, Subsequently, NAiotactst and FERDINAND had several conferences, in one of which the Crown of Etruria was offered to the lat ter, and a niece of the Emperor . in marriage. The Spanish Prince rejected these proposals, although at intervals they were repeated, and on -some oeca l . sions when the Minister of State, CEV&LLOS, was present. . . " After four days had elapsed,. the Imperial. Guard was withdrawn, and only one soldier was allowed to attend (one of the Guards of Honour at Bayonne) ; of the carriage he was also deprived.--- Since that time the conferences have been frequent,' and the Grandees werernade responsible fOr the per :son of their Sovereign ,With their heads. The only *at of these continued Negociations wa:4 to give time for the arrival of the remainder of the Ito; al Family ; indeed • NATOLIION had already intimated his design to procure the utter extinction of the nasty of the BOURBONS. -- He still apparently insisted ,on FERDINAND'S acceptance of the Crow - n of Etru ria, until the latter-assured-him that Ire despi,ed all Crowns hut.that to . which he was born; and that the Only wish of his . heart WAS to. make 'his natiiitih4.:! py, and to die in the midst of his countrymen. ,! " On the sth there was a Grand Convention,', at: which' Were present the Emperor, CHARLES the , Fourth, his son FBI:mit:AND, the QUEE N , theln ! fant DON CARLOS, and all the Grandees and Mi nisters of the two nations in Bayonne; it last ec l five floors and a half, and various were the topics Midis cussion; and among the rest, the offer of the king dom of Naples CO FERDINAND, . and of Etruria 10 CARLOS'! The Princes of Spain treated the Empe; •! ror's proposition with contempt. . " When the Minister CEVALLOS interposed, dear ing an hour and a quarter, desiring of NAPOLEON SOME prellniinaries on his part, the Emperor Com manded him 'to retire. After this contest, the Mi nister LABRADOR .urged, less' pertinaciously, the' -same preliminaries ; but, at last, the termination of the dynasty of the Bourbons was resolved, and six hours were allowed to FERDINAND for his renuneia; tion. This was none in the following terms : " Since the Emperor has assured the that the pee pie of Madrid are dilided into parties, the adherents of my Father being . tnore powerfhl .than _my own, and 11,000 persons having been sacrificed in the late . conflid ; in addition to all this, be insisting that if I do not abdicate the Throne in the name of my Father, he - slay My! partisans With the sword, I have agreed to renounce my birth-right, to which, under other 'circumstances; I would not have submitted, as the Emperor is 'fully persuaded. Although I have no means of knowing the corre6t ness of his assurance, yet I resign to avoid the of u. same sion of human blood ; yet, at the time e de , 7 daring the act to be void and nugatory, if the tails alledged be not true, and of this I call upon my and the .French people to witness: I protest also against any revocation -of my rank and privileges as Prince of ASTURIAS, which I reserve to myself foe ever, hoping that by the blessing of Providence I shall, on some future day, ascend the throne of my ancestors, to render Spain happy under my govern ment. I advise the whole nation to sustain with . ' firmness the rites of our liesly religion, and its iride- :. pendence, against the common enemy; whom none knew ,better than my beloved subjects when publicly they counselled me not to, confide in the false friend ship of the FrenCh Government." , • (EXTRACT OF A L'ETTER.) .

OVIEDO, JULY 2.---4 t cannot be ; denied, that 11 , 1 um, an Officer of cavalry, has goiovd :alogs; and conquered towns; but not until be bad inundat ed them more with French blood, that with the' , blood of the vanquished. It is said,-that his tallier was a waiter at Paris ; that he himself Was a vagabond, and had formerl . r been an e:tecutioner., Thus brought up between want and *tiler, in early life a friend took compassion on him, an ,„ b e became a member of - a band of stroning pla ) ;ers, in' • the humble capacity ofa scrub.. In the procesi of time,' he became,familiariz A 'to the theatre, and the actors or perhaps the ac tresses,. 'accrued him 'competer4 to assist on the boards,' Several times he appeared in pnblie; but was always hissed, and then it was that he exhi bited the effrontery of . his character ; for instead of being mortified, he laughed at his opponents, And shewed his conter4t for them by pantomimic gesti culation. He soon discovered, however, that the sock and the buskin were not suited to him, and hav ing enlisted as a soldier, he left his dramatic com panions at the time when the Sans Culottes were in the zenith of power. It was not long before he became among theprin. cipals of that party, not even yielding to MARAT, Whose name, after tl.e death of that demagogue, he would have assumed, with the smzil change of a vowel ; but'this glorions - distinaion he was not per mitted to acquire in those happy times of fraternity and equality. He. was one of the most cruel persecutors . of his Sovereign, and his instrumentality occasioned most ,severe aftliaion to the Queen -and Princesses. He most actively co-operated in all the revolutions of that foolish and insane people, in the scandalous atrocities which were pratitiFed, and which vbiereper mined, to punish the depravity of Frenchmen, • That unhappy race have chosen to' assign this tnan the reward of his eminent, services, and we see MURAT the companion, friend, and the cutimpellur of the Corsican BUONAPARTE. Savoy, Tuscany, the Ecclesiastical State,, with the other principalities of Italy ; the' Republics of Switzerland, Genoa, and Venice . ; Germany and Egypt ; all, all have suffered from the excess of his ferocity. For this distinguished merit, Iltfariet.- PARTE is united• with hitn in friendship, and has made him his' alfottionate and perpetual companion. He formerly had another wife, of. whiifn all that is ,4nown is that .she was divorced. from so honour able an associate, and died of intoxication. It is said that his present wit,- excited some un pleasant feeling, until it broke out into an open -jea lousy, nut to-say all, against her own brother, the teMperate I.U'ciEri. This obje6t of scandal became so clamorous, that EUONAPARTE found lismself un- der the necessity of separati..g these amiable bro thers, and, on this account, LUCIEN was disgraced . , and ,liorn od the Imperial beams of the NAPOLEON. family. '- MURAT, always haughty, before he was created a puke, atte6ted a princely power. Milan and Paris Were astonished at his wealth, his splendour, and - his palaces. His pride was not appeased, until he was in% ested with authority over Spain and the Such, my countrymen, is MURAT, who aspired to be the liiiperiaf Regent of this great and renowned people. BENEVENTO, JUNE 25.—There frequently appear in this neighbourhood, to corps themselves, many disbanded soldiers of the raised in 1790.---- Every clay regular troops from Galicia are expeeted, anti no doubt is entertained but the people of the other Provinces will do their duty, and that .the ex ample of the early Supporters of the notion will have a powerful effeCt. The Cavalry consists of about 110 men, and : we Soon expect a regiment of 'Vo lunteers, %hid was' ately at Tala sera de la . Beyna. That' the French should be sacrilegious; that they should despise and violate the awful, shrines of our Saints, is not s'arpri.ing, for we were betoreac'- . quainfed with their tufteli-y, if not at least: of those who are under the age of forty. But it is wonderful that Vrenchnien should so far misunderstand their own interest, as to make a boast of their proliinations, in the midst of a nation ;which they must know to be devoutly religious, since they endeavoured to deceiveand sednce her under the ap pearance of the holy character of fi iendship. This is so extraordinary as not to be conceivable, excepting under the supposition of some derangement of in telleet, which, indeed, in other respects, they suffi ciently expose. Spaniards, the detests ion of this deprave:id people is not a worldly passion, but a, sacred duty. .What the Jebusites and Philistines were to the people of God, they are to the . people -of Spain. Laugh at their feeble threats; triumph over the inefficient means to which they resort to deceive you. FROM IHE DUTCH PAPERS.
